Sunday I continued my goal of documenting the spring with a walk up to Volunteer Park and Lakeview Cemetery. This took me through the well-off neighborhoods of people who really liked their gardens.
My telephoto lens is pretty crappy and blurry, but I do like the painterly effect it gives me.

Musing
This morning, I realized that this weekend's Norwescon is going to be my first real convention since I had my series of nervous breakdowns last fall, along with the subsequent Wellbutrin treatments, personal revelations and choices and the major personality changes that have come with this. I'm curious to see what this will be like, if nothing, it ( Read more... ) -
Moving up the educational ladder
Hey, I got into grad school. :-) This is assuming I finish my community college classes, but I'm pretty sure that will happen. (I did quite well on my math evaluation, thanks to my cramming.

Saturday I had my first good walk of the year, out to the arboretum. This time of year isn't the most beautiful, but I love it a lot more than some. Imbolc, Candlemas, Groundhog Day. It's a time when the very first buds of spring emerge among the decaying remains of the year before. There is no death, because there hasn't been enough time for ( Read more... ) -

Last night I blew off my diet to the tune of half a Red Baron pizza and three ciders. Granted, I don't feel bad, since it was a high calorie day, I'm pretty good at sticking to my dieting system, and I had a hell of a work week*, but even high calorie days have limits, and so I'm taking a penetential walk over to the arboretum, since according to ( Read more... )
